Daddies Favourite Sauce

[cryptic]

I like finding these because of the way the lip was made. It says daddies favourite sauce. Thanks for looking!

Thanks jgas!

They are a popular bottle to find around here and the only ones I have ever found with a burst lip.

I think that is called a "sheared" lip. I have a couple of ink bottles of the same type.
Really cool bottle!!!

"Burst" lip is correct in that the neck is drawn out so thin that the glass bursts leaving a thin, ragged edge. Such a bottle is blown in a "blow-by" or "blow-back" mold. This is a British technique to produce cheap bottles that don't need any lip finishing.

This is not a "sheared" lip. Sheared lips are not thinned, but are as thick-walled as the rest of the neck. A sheared lip is created by touching the neck of the nascent bottle with the blades of a pair of shears that have been dipped in water (to keep them cool). The bottle is said to be "wetted off" the pontil rod. See the bonbonne below.
